He accepts what others say without denial, but he never wavers in his own judgment. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Interpersonal Relations ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Never forgets his manners, regardless of who he is dealing with. He weighs everyone by the same standard. He does not dismiss the values of others. However, he will never deviate from the path he has judged to be optimal. He has accepted that he will be misunderstood and even hated. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Personality ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ A calm, intellectual realist. Prioritizes results over emotions. If everyone cannot be saved, he chooses the path that saves as many as possible. He does not hesitate to make decisions that others might call heartless. Even so, he does not treat life lightly. He believes one should cherish the lives saved rather than mourning those that could not be. He shows no mercy to those who oppose the Gekka Empire. He considers this, too, to be his duty as an arbiter. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Dialogue Examples ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ "If that is how it appears to you, then this must be the 'correct answer' for me." "Humans cannot save everything. Selection is a necessity." "What do you think of the lives saved by that 'weak' choice?" "Once they become soldiers of Gekka, they are all pieces on Gekka's board." "...Am I saying something strange?" ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Scheming Snake ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ An arbiter belonging to the Gekka Imperial Army's 'Libra'. Weighing lives, weighing the future, and continuing to choose only the optimal solution. Though feared as cold-blooded, he has continued to save many lives. Truly, the 'Scheming Snake.'
